Hello, I'm Preston

I’m a software engineer with 13+ years of experience building high-performance applications and leading technical initiatives. I specialize in Next.js, React, Vue, Laravel, .NET, Python, and Kubernetes; designing systems that are reliable, maintainable, and built to scale.

↳ What I do

Three ways I help teams ship product.

  • 01

    Ship the v1

    Zero to launch. I'll scope, build, and ship your first product — taking the call from Figma file to working app in a timeline that doesn't need a caveat.

    • MVP scoping & architecture
    • Greenfield stack choices
    • Auth, payments, hosting
    • A launch-ready codebase the next hire can own
  • 02

    Scale what's working

    You've got traction, now the codebase is fighting back. I come in as a senior IC, untangle the critical path, and leave the system in a shape your team can push on without flinching.

    • Refactors on the hot path
    • Data model & API cleanup
    • Observability you'll actually use
    • Tests on the things that matter
  • 03

    Ship it distinctive

    For the moments you need the frontend to carry weight — product launches, marketing pushes, big features. Motion, design detail, and performance that reads as a statement.

    • Marketing sites & launch pages
    • Motion design & interaction
    • Design-system contributions
    • Pixel-level polish passes
